Trie IGNPOST WEBER STATE UNIVERSITY OGDEN, UTAH Students, athletes gather food for needy By SCOTT SHINER Asst. news editor of The Signpost Over 100 Weber State University students, from different organizations, gathered to participate in the Share Saturday program collecting food for the needy Saturday morning. The program was initiated by WSU football player Ken Rayner, president of Campus Christian Fellowship. "We just wanted to help someone less fortunate than us. I know where my next jneal is coming from, but there are a lot of "people that don't," Rayner said. Members of several religious organizations, the sorority Sigma-Sigma-Sigma, and athletes including football players, cheerleaders, and the Chantonelles, gathered at the Newman Center for instructions before splitting up to their assigned stores. "It was a good way for students from different denominations and student organizations to work together and help others," Rayner said. The project affected many of the students that were involved, in a positive way. "With Thanksgiving so near, it felt good to gather all this food and give it to those in need," said Karen Hart, student member of Campus Christian Fellowship. Several high school students in the area also came to help. "I just wanted to help someone else and this sounded likea good idea," said Naomi Dobbins, a student at Weber High. Some students just stood outside the door of each store and asked people for donations, while others tried different methods. "We went right inside, walked up to people and asked them to donate food for the hungry and that seemed to really motivate them," said Nsa Henshaw, an Ogden High student.

Beatlemania returns to WSU "1964" gives Ogden another taste of the early 1960's By JOYCE ZABRISKIE Asst. copy editor of The Signpost Beatlemania was alive and well in the Austad Auditorium during Saturday's performance by pop group, "1964:" As the Beatles. The concert was sponsored by the WSU Family Concert Series. The performance was delayed for 30 minutes by a faulty amplifier, but Beatlemania was in full swing once the music began. "1964:" As The Beatles was not four men who lip-synced to the Beatles' music. Mark Benson, Gary Grimes, Tom Work, and Terry Manfredi brought to WSU the uncanny likeness of the Beatles and their magical music that made the Fab Four chart-toppers in 1964. Not only were their instruments copied to the minutest detail, but so were their clothes, hair, voices, and their Liverpool accents were close in tone and quality to the original four. It was similar to going back in time and watching a live Beatles' concert The music, which consisted of much of the 1 964 Meet The Beatles' a lbu m. "Paul McCartney" and "John Lennon" opened with 7 Saw Her Standing There, I Wanna Hold Your Hand . Other tunes were featured from thr Hard Days' Night and Help albums including Eight Days a Week, and Ticket to Ride. "George Harrison" sang; Do You Want to Know A Secret and Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby. "Ringo Starr" thrilled listeners with Act Naturally and Matchbox." The audience was on its feet dancing to the tunes as fast as the band could play them. Several screaming females ran onto the stage to kiss "Lennon" and "Harrison" First and second generation Beatles fans got a heavy dose of Beatlemania and demanded a two-song encore. Leaving the performance, audience members were shaking their heads and saying, "wow". One fan said he would like to see "1964" perform Hey Jude on their next visit to Ogden. ASWSU Senate Students may introduce legislation, if bill passes By RANDY CARDEN Staff writer of The Signpost The ASWSU Senate will vote on a proposal today to allow students to submit legislation with out the endorsment of a student senator. The legislation, proposed by Angie Montgomery, would allow students to propose legislation in a similar way the para-mutuel betting issue was voted on in Utah. "Basically that is saying that students can produce legislation in legislation form and they have that authority to do it alone. They don't need the senate to do it for them," Montgomery said. Right now if a student wants to pass a bill they have to find a senator to sponsor that bill. By amending the bylaws in Title VI, Section A, this would allow students to by pass the senate as long as they are able to get two and one half percent of ASWSU students to sign a petition. Thatwould require between 200 to 300 signatures Montgomery said. In Utah, if a citizen feels strongly about an issue they do not have to go through the state senate to get that issue put on a ballot and the same should be for ASWSU students, she said. "As in the case of pari-mutuel betting the citizens of Utah were able to choose. They decided this was an important issue to them, so they wanted it on the ballots," Montgomery said. In addition to the 200-300 signatures a student would need to get for a n issue to be put on the ballot, a minimum of 10 percent of the students attending the university would have to show up to vote, Montgomery said. "On the average it's been 9 percent voting. It's really been low the last five years and last year it barely reached nine percent," Montgomery said. Those running for office during the last election were really pushed to encourage students to vote and they really worked hard in doing so, Montgomery said. "I feel really bad because I think we have a lot of complaining that goes on in the school that things don't get done,yet I know for myself and other senators that even though we hold office hours for students to come too, no one ever shows up," she said. "We're doing all these things and no one really cares. Especially voting, they don't come out, they don't want to vote," she said. Senate meetings are open for students to come listen to and are held every Monday at 1:30 up by the Women's Resource Center in the student Union Building. Everyone is invited, she said. "I just want to know what the students (See ASWSU on page 2) Inside The Signpost Arts: Wildcat Theatre offers students more than what meets the eye. p. 7 Sports: WSU's Chris Jones finishes first in District 7 cross country meet. p. 10
